2-2 Installing and Configuring Printer Drivers in OS X

Installing Printer Drivers

Custom printer drivers for OS X consist of the following elements:

PPD - A PostScript Printer Description file is a readable text file that provides a uniform approach for

specifying special features and installable options for printer drivers that interpret PostScript.

PDE - A Printer Dialog Extension is used for printers with features that the standard Macintosh interface

does not support.

Filters - A filter or converter accepts input in one format and converts it into another format that the

printer can interpret.

Printer drivers for OS X combine these elements into one disk image file (.DMG) that contains package

(.mpkg) files. An installer provided by Xerox is used to install the printer driver elements.

To install printer drivers in OS X:

1 If applicable, remove any previous versions of the printer drivers you are installing. See Removing

Custom Printer Drivers on page 2-5 for the procedure.

2 Browse the Print and Fax Services CD to locate the .DMG (disk image file) for the printer driver.

The drivers are located in /Mac/OSX_Custom/Custom_<printer model number>_Xv10.x.

3 Double-click the .DMG icon. A virtual disk image is created on the desktop which is automatically

opened to a .pkg file (installer file). This file will install the PPD, filters, and plug-ins associated with

the printer you want to install and configure.

4 Double-click the .pkg icon and follow the instructions in the installer. Click Continue at the prompts

to proceed with the installation. When you are prompted to install the driver, click Install or

Upgrade.

You may be asked to authenticate yourself before being allowed to install the driver.

5 The printer driver files are copied to the drive in the following folders:

/Library/Printers/Xerox/filter

/Library/Printers/Xerox/PDEs

/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/<language>.lproj

After installation, the printer driver is available for configuring with the Macintosh Printer Setup

Utility.

6 Close any open windows.

NOTE: Installing printer drivers on a Macintosh running OS X requires administrator privileges with

Root access.

Setting Up Printers 2-3

Setting Up Printers

Printer setup includes adding a printer, connecting a workstation to the printer, assigning a printer driver

or PPD, and configuring installable options for the printer. Use the Macintosh Printer Setup Utility to

perform these tasks for your Xerox system.

OS X (10.3 and above) supports the following protocols:

 AppleTalk

files (.plugin) associated with the Xerox system being removed.

5 Close any open windows and empty the Trash.

NOTE: Plug-ins for Xerox printers have file names such as WorkCentre<model number>.plugin,

and XeroxWatermark.plugin. If you are not removing all Xerox printers, be careful not to remove

plug-ins needed by an active printer.
